    It’s hard to beat living in this area. Within a mile walk I have 6 decent breweries, and the distro here is insane. My favorite shop just got in a bunch of Foreign Objects cans. Some of those will make a debut on tomorrow’s NBS thread.

    Ok, time to get this kicked off with a small LIF for the early entrants who have signed up so far. I will, however ask that someone volunteers to opt out of this one and help me. After someone steps forward, I will post the contest rules.

    Waitasec...I thought I posted here yesterday, but somehow it's not here. What other BIF did I agree to be in then?!! :astonished:

    Here's what I would've said, though:
    Ooh, I loved the Mystery Beer Date! Definitely in!

    I haven't done one of these before but I'm intrigued. What would a potential theme be? Like a style of beer or something else?

    New Beer Sunday. Follow the thread tomorrow or look at some of the past weeks. Last time one beer was wrapped to hide what it was while it was being reviewed. Only after completing the review could it be unwrapped. Lots of new beers based on the reciptiants likes/dislikes. Also some local food items.

    The basic theme is to support New Beer Sunday, so you try to send your target new to them beers. We've gotten into the habit of having each round have a name (theme) that we use for Hints and such. The theme for this one was going to be Estonian Ticks, but I think I'll save that for a future round. The theme will be in the title of the Hints and Hauls thread, which I'll post after I set the pairings.

    @Harrison8 tried to get me to join the last one or maybe the one before that. Maybe he'll join me this time!

    Thanks, Bo! Will shoot you a msg in a minute.
    Here we go...

    After watching part of Seven Psychopaths I realized how much I like Christopher Walken as an actor. I starting listing my favorite films that he has appeared in and ranked my top 5. Your job is to guess those top 5. You pick 5 movies from his collection and whoever has the most points wins, easy peasy.
    Points are as follows:
    5th favorite: 1pt
    4th favorite: 2pts
    3rd favorite: 3pts
    2nd favorite: 4pts
    Favorite: 11pts(basically auto win, unless more than 1 get it)

    @FlintB will have the list of movies.

    Good luck all.
    Edit: everyone that has signed up for this BIF before THIS post is eligible.

    Hmm, interesting. I had a blast with the one I did in the past (5?). I'll stew on the thought of joining this round having missed the last round. I have quite a lot of beer.... but I'm also considering going dry until the end of April as I tighten focus on my spring half marathon.

    Thanks for the thought and mention @Beer_Economicus . I'll try and get a definite answer for you all by early next week! One thing is for sure, should I join, I'd prefer a later week in April for the targeted share date.
